Regarding longer scans via smfp driver, I looked your usbmon logs. Scan
parameters seems to be nearly equal. And I see that smfp (1.mon.out)
driver send device INQUIRY reqest 4 times with interval from first to last
request ~3 seconds. Total time of smfp scan is 8.7 seconds. Total time
of xerox_mfp scan is 4.3 seconds. Image data reading time in both cases
is nearly 1 second. Time between first image request and image data flow
is ~3.5 seconds.  So I conclude that smfp driver spend difference in
time internally and actual speed of working with device and device
itself is the same.  Why is smfp driver spending time inernally?
Unknown. It may be just some hardcoded intervals between commands.

It seems your usbmon logs don't contain case when scanimage fail with
xerox_mfp driver. As I understand it would fail if `scanimage -L' will
be run twice (it will fail second time). So it will be useful to have
usbmon log of such case.
